How to Get Rid of Cellulite

Cellulite is a stubborn issue many women face. In fact, it is estimated
that about 80% to 90% of women, regardless of how fit they are, struggle
with cellulite that not even the most active lifestyle can guard against.
Despite the fact that so many people have to deal with the dimpled presence
of cellulite on various areas of the body, not much is actually understood
about cellulite.

Here are some of the facts about cellulite doctors do know:

Cellulite is not skin deep, but rather pockets of fat that squeezed between
bands of tissue beneath the skin.

Why do we mostly associate this particular body issue with women? Well,
men have sturdier bands in a crisscross formation, which keeps fat in
place more effectively, making them far less prone to cellulite than women.
In women, fat pushes through these bands much more easily, making it possible
for any woman of any age or race to have cellulite.

Cellulite is not related to one’s size. Both thin and overweight
women can have cellulite, though the more body fat you have, the more
likely you are to have more prominent dimpling.

You cannot diet your cellulite out of existence. In some cases, dieting
can lessen the presence of cellulite, but in others, it might make it
worse, particularly if you drop drastic amounts of weight. This can cause
the skin to sag, making cellulite more noticeable.

There are some natural ways to go about getting rid of cellulite. These
methods include:

Lifting weights: Exercise, or specifically lifting weights, can make your
muscles more defined, which can help your skin look smoother.

Strengthen your skin: To help reduce the lumps and dimples of cellulite,
you can try using topical treatments to build collagen in the skin. Creams
that contain retinol or vitamin C are a good place to start.

There are also treatments that can specifically target cellulite. Cellfina,
for example, is FDA-approved to treat cellulite and lasts over 2 years.
This treatment addresses the main cause of cellulite, which are the connecting
bands woven through fat.
